Payment
The start-date of your booking will only be confirmed when we have received the related service fee / deposit.
The brief, design details and / or order instructions should be provided by the client before the start-date of the project. These details should be complete and final. If any changes or additions to the brief are made after the start-date of the project, this may lead to additional charges and / or delay of the project.
Payments can be done through Bank Transfer (Wise), by Credit Card or in cash in IDR (Indonesian Rupiah) in our office.
Each time a payment is required, we will send out an invoice or payment summary, including payment instructions and the due date for this payment.
Late payments may lead to rescheduling of the start-date and / or delays in the project.
Any bank or other transaction fees for an (international) transaction shall be covered by the client.
Payments are non-refundable in case of cancellation by the client.
Payments to third parties, including but not limited to manufacturers, suppliers and shipping carriers, are not included in the The Bali Curator service fee.
The Bali Curator will save all original invoices from third parties that are paid on your behalf until six months after the end of the project. The Bali Curator will send through the original invoices to the client if requested by the client no later than six months after the end of the project.
Order to third parties
The Bali Curator is an independent agent and not an employee of any of the manufacturers. The manufacturers will not provide fringe benefits, including health insurance benefits, paid vacation or any other employee benefit, for the benefit of The Bali Curator.
Bali Sewing Studio is the brand name of the textile-based products development department of The Bali Curator and works under the same management and administration.
The Bali Curator will only confirm orders with third parties on your behalf, after we have received a written confirmation and needed payment from you for this order.
We require 100% of the needed payment for a third party up front, before an order can be confirmed. If the third party requires less than 100% payment up front, the remaining balance will stay in our account, and will be paid to the third party upon completion of the order.
We will act as contact person regarding the order for both you and the producer. If you wish to have direct contact with the producer during the project, The Bali Curator should be notified about this.
Availability of materials and producers may change, and are not in direct control of The Bali Curator. Such occurrences could impact the process, timeline or the end product. If such changes occur then The Bali Curator and the client will align on the best approach and will look for alternative options that align with the original plan. If extra sampling or sourcing is needed, The Bali Curator, will be compensated accordingly for the extra work and time.
In case of conflict between you and the producer or another third party involved in the project, or if you are not satisfied with any of the goods or services provided by a third party, The Bali Curator will act as a mediator, but The Bali Curator cannot be held responsible for the mistakes made by third parties.
Shipment
For airfreight we will ship the goods through our account with DHL.
We will send an invoice with the estimated shipping costs, which will be covered by the client. The shipping costs that are charged up front are an estimation. The exact amount will be confirmed by DHL after the shipment is completed. If the actual shipping costs turn out to be higher than what was quoted up front, we will ask you to cover the outstanding amount.
The shipping costs that are charged to the client include the shipping costs from DHL and a packing and administration fee for The Bali Curator.
If you would like to have your package insured, you need to let us know before the booking of the shipment.
In case of damage on the goods or delay of the shipment, The Bali Curator will ask DHL for a refund or compensation on the client’s behalf. The Bali Curator will not provide a refund to the client other than the compensation provided by DHL.

Please let us know the details of your preferred cargo company at least one month before your preferred shipping date.

Clients are expected to be available to answer our communication at least once a week.
If we have not been able to contact our client or receive any confirmations for over three weeks, we will assume the project is finished. Any paid service fees cannot be refunded in such a case. If you would like to continue working with us at a later date, we will then charge a new service fee for the project.
If there are additions to the scope of work during the project (including but not limited to the client confirmed that they will provide confirmed prototypes up front, but during the process the prototypes do still need revisions or further development), this may affect the service fee and timeline for the project.
